Somfy Amy 1 io Temperature Sensor
The Somfy Amy 1 io can significantly help regulate your home’s temperature and reduce energy costs, through intelligent control of motorised window coverings, blinds, and curtains.
How Amy 1 io Regulates Temperature
Automated Solar Management: Your Tahoma hub will receive the temperate info from the Amy 1, to automatically adjust blinds and curtains throughout the day. During summer, it closes coverings when the sun is strongest to block heat gain, and opens them during cooler evening hours. In winter, it does the opposite – opening coverings to capture solar heat during sunny periods and closing them at night to retain warmth.
Money-Saving Benefits
Reducing AC / Heating Usage: By naturally regulating indoor temperatures through strategic use of window coverings, your heating and cooling systems work less frequently and at lower intensities, directly reducing energy consumption.
Peak Hour Management: The system can help avoid costly peak-hour energy usage by pre-cooling or pre-heating your home using natural solar gain and insulation rather than mechanical systems.
Long-term Efficiency: Automated temperature regulation means more consistent indoor temperatures with less energy waste from overshooting target temperatures or forgetting to adjust coverings manually.
Studies suggest that properly managed automated window coverings can reduce heating and cooling costs by 15-25%, making the Amy 1 io a worthwhile investment for energy-conscious homeowners with compatible motorised window treatments.

So how do you actually use it?
Temperature controller
You can set up a single sensor in a key location in your house, then create your own advanced scenes in the Tahoma App to close blinds / curtains when the temperature gets over a certain level or open the blinds / curtains when the temperature drops below a certain level. It’s as simpe as that.
For even greater control, you can use multiple sensors in different rooms or even use one for each room if you prefer, then simply create an advanced scene for each room.
It really is as simple as that.
Scene Launcher
The Amy 1 also has the ability to use the control buttons on the front to send commands to any of your Somfy products around the home. To set the Amy up as a scene launcher, go to add equipment, select remote control, Somfy and then Amy and follow the instruction in the App.
